What makes the site unique is that it mainly lists internship openings and entry-level positions for people who have little or no work history. This practice differs from other sites that offer these services for people who have a lot of experience.

A platform like Gradberry plays an important role in reducing youth unemployment. It makes it easier for graduates to connect with potential employers, as it makes it easier for employers to hire recent graduates with a fresh mind that have all the right skills. Gradberry helps these two worlds to better communicate with each other.
